From the beginning, theirs was "an extraordinary relationship," says Ted Kennedy. "With Ethel and Bobby, everything just clicked all the way." In a forthcoming memorial volume, Bobby's sister Eunice Shriver writes: "I hear him on the beach, in his home, on his boat, on the front lawn playing football, at the tennis court?always with the same question: 'Where is Ethel?' He grew out slowly. He was a lonely, very sensitive and unfulfilled youngster. He met Ethel, and all the love and appreciation for which she seemed to have an infinite capacity came pouring down...
...Ethel, says Eunice Shriver, "Bobby was everything: the best sailor, the best skier?a hero who could easily climb Mount Everest if he wanted to." To keep up with him Ethel went to some pretty heroic lengths herself. Art Buchwald recalls a camping trip on which Ethel hiked seven miles out of the Grand Canyon in 119° heat: "I didn't think any woman could do that. Maybe no woman but Ethel could...
...Nixon's hosts at an Elysee dinner Friday night, and the discussions continue Saturday at Versailles' recently refurbished Grand Trianon. Nixon will return the hospitality by giving a dinner at the U.S. Embassy hard by the Place de la Concorde Saturday night: ironically, his hostess will be Eunice Kennedy Shriver, wife of the U.S. ambassador. Sunday, before he leaves for Washington via the Vatican, Nixon will confer with Henry Cabot Lodge and his Viet Nam negotiating team...
...proud and loyal group of people in the U.S. whose ancestors were both Catholics and Americans long before the influx of ethnic groups. They include Marylanders, Frenchmen in St. Louis and New Orleans, Castilian Spaniards in the Southwest and certain families in Philadelphia and other coast cities. Mr. Sargent Shriver is the most prominent man of this group at the present time. To refer to him as a "Waspirant" is as insulting as it would have been to accuse Charles Carroll of Carrollton of trying to gain equality with John Adams. In both cases, the equality already existed. Also, your...
Thus Roman Catholics like William Buckley, Sargent Shriver and Ted Kennedy are pushed toward Waspdom by their associations, professions and life styles. Though German Jewish, Walter Lippmann is still a Waspirant. His clubs (Metropolitan, Cosmos, River) and his influence on opinion give him undeniable Wasp power. Wall Street Dynasts John Schiff and John Loeb may qualify, if they want, as honorary Wasps. So may Walt Whitman Rostow, who has been a top aide of Lyndon Johnson and beats most Wasps at tennis...
